Interesting how many of these “austere religious leaders” and leaders of socialist countries where everyone is equal, become stupendously wealthy…

Snow on Pine, not all of the 10% would fight against a new government. It’s likely the success of this endeavor will hinge on the national army taking control of the government from the IRGC– after we’ve killed enough of the IRGC military and destroyed their equipment.

Most of our attacks are on the IRGC. While we have taken out any air defense systems the Artesh controls, I don’t think we’ve targeted their ground capabilities.

If there is such a nationalist force, loyal to a shah, or the idea of establishing a true representative government, based on what the administration has said, it will be this force that must fight and defeat whatever remains of the IGRC and Basij.

We could maintain air support and a no fly zone for this military– but it will take Iranians fighting for their country. This won’t happen until we finish destroying the IRGC military capabilities. I don’t think the Islamic true believers will capitulate without being destroyed.

Snow on Pine:

I think the other Iranians will remember, and deal with that 10%.

Payback is a bitc….

I have no doubt he’s “unconscious,” the question being how irreversibly.

If he made it to the UK, especially if he were still “upright and respiratory,” as Beege at HotAir puts it, they’d probably elect him PM.

Brian E–So what do you do with, how do you deal with, 10 million or so brainwashed, likely fanatical Muslims who are presumably going to do everything they can to resist and to sabotage attempts to return Iran to a more secular state; we hope to some semblance of democracy?

It’s estimated 10-20% of Iranians support the Islamic Republic. Even at the lower estimates means nearly 10 million oppose what the US/Israel are doing right now.

@Snow on Pine: I noticed a video the other night of what looked like many thousands of Khomeini supporters chanting and waving their cell phone lights at a nighttime rally... FWIW I noticed that video too. Snow on Pine is not mistaken. I didn't stick around long enough to figure it out.

Well he did have a black turban. Was Schrodinger’s a black cat?

Unconscious does nicely preclude many ways to prove him alive, and so they can keep him Schrodinger’s leader.
